Sliding Mode Control for Electrohydrostatic Actuator

الملخص EN

Electrohydrostatic actuator (EHA) is a new actuator for next generation aircraft actuation system.

This actuator is essentially a nonlinear system; response speed and accuracy are the main consideration.

We use sliding mode control for this nonlinear system in this paper.

The variable structure filter (VSF) is introduced to obtain the unmeasured states.

Derivation of the VSF gain based on the reaching law is presented in this paper.

To improve the response speed and accuracy, a nonlinear function is introduced to construct the nonlinear sliding surface using the estimated states generated by VSF.

Simulation results show that low settling time and quick response are obtained by using the nonlinear sliding surface.
